My TV has a VGA port, which makes it possible to use the TV as a PC-monitor, never thought I would use it much, but it’s actually great! The quality is incredible; I’ve been playing Day of Defeat: Source and LoTR: Online on it, both look awesome. I also tried watching some episodes of Lost in High-Definition I’ve got on my PC, and holy shit, it looks fantastic. I don’t think it’s actually showing it in High-Definition though, I hope some of you may be able to clarify it, don’t I need a HD-videocard or something? Still looks amazing, I’ve taken a couple of snapshots and even though it’s a picture taken of the TV you can still see the incredible details.
Click Mr. Sawyer for mindblowing details.
I’ve also snapped pictures of the desktop, some games, etc. All the pictures can be seen here.
No you don’t need some sort of HD-video card to output HD content from your PC. If you have a 720p xvid video on your pc, then there shouldn’t be any problems outputting those 720p to your tv.
Holy crap, that’s cool.
Now that’s what I’m talking about! 16:9 gaming FTW!
And it looks just like on a monitor! I’ve heard about a lot of issues about the so-called 1:1 pixel mapping; that pixels on HDTVs weren’t always 1:1 – that is square – I think… but your TV doesn’t seem to have problems with that…
Oh, and if you’ve got a DVI video card, you can buy a DVI-HDMI cable or just a converter, it should improve picture quality just like on PC monitors…
Yep, looks just like a regular monitor, only apparent downside is a max resolusion of 1360×768, I’m used to 1600×1200 on the desktop, but I’ll live. :)
I don’t have a DVI video card.
I’m running 1600×1200 too ;) Just got the LCD about a month ago :D Ahhh… 1280 by 1024 is crap! oooh yesss… oh yes.
Hey, I know I paid about 1500,- DKK more for the 20″, but I don’t regret it one bit!
Too bad. =/ Oh well, I don’t know what difference it makes either, I’m still running VGA, but that’s because I’ve got a laptop. =| Meh.
I’m just running
That’s okay too.
What’s polt running? 1280 by 1024? — I didn’t mean it that way, you know! I just like to be able to view two 800 pxl wide Internet pages beside each other. ;D
